Rudy Gobert hit 8-of-8 shots and 4-of-7 free throws on his way to 20 points, 17 rebounds and a block in Thursday's loss to the Warriors.

We were a year early on Gobert, predicting a breakout season last year, but he's crushing right now. He's hit 20 points or more in back-to-back games, has hit double figures in rebounds in nine straight games, and is averaging 13.8 points, 13.2 rebounds and 3.0 blocks on 77 percent shooting over his last five. Wow. Dec 9 - 12:00 AM

The Stifle Tower was coming off a 14-point, 17-rebound and five-block effort against the Lakers the previous night and kept his foot on the gas pedal with 11 rebounds and four blocks Tuesday. He also hit 10-of-11 free throws on the night, bringing his season average up to 66.9 percent. You can check out his final dunk of the game in the link below. Dec 6 - 11:51 PM

Rudy Gobert scored 14 points with 17 rebounds, five blocks, one assist and one steal in 39 minutes in a 107-101 win over the Lakers on Monday.

He tied his season highs in rebounds and blocks, shooting 4-of-7 from the field and 6-of-11 from the line. Gobert has been feasting all season long with averages of 10.8 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, and he's currently flirting with third-round value in standard leagues. He should have a big day against the Suns on Tuesday. Dec 6 - 1:48 AM

Rudy Gobert hit 3-of-4 shots for six points, 10 rebounds, and three blocks in 35 minutes on Thursday night.

Despite a tough matchup, Gobert was able to hold his own under the glass, making it the 14th time this season he records double-digit rebounds. He has also blocked three or more shots in four straight games. His next game is against the Nuggets who he fared well against last season. Dec 2 - 12:52 AM

Depth Charts

George Hill (left toe) will not play against the Warriors on Thursday.

He just can't shake injuries this year with this game marking his fifth DNP in a row. Hill has also missed time for his thumb and was limited due to an illness last month. He is having a massive year based on per-game averages, so he has to be stashed. Dante Exum will start in a favorable matchup while Gordon Hayward should get a massive opportunity as the primary ball-handler.

Rodney Hood (hamstring) and George Hill (toe) will not play against the Warriors on Thursday night.

Hood aggravated his hamstring strain on Tuesday and did not return. He missed last Thursday due to the strain and played 29.5 minutes per game on Dec. 3 and Dec. 5 before his aggravation. With Hood out, Joe Johnson and Joe Ingles will get some extra minutes against the Warriors. Both are going to be DFS options with Johnson having the higher upside.

Coach Quin Snyder said Alec Burks (ankle) is expected to miss the next 1-2 months

He is out indefinitely due to his arthroscopic surgery to debride his left ankle. Burks has been hurt for most of his time in the past two seasons and also had a knee procedure this summer. He's not worth stashing almost anywhere and could be a trade candidate once he's healthy.

This is a tough blow for a Jazz team that also ruled out Rodney Hood (hamstring) and George Hill (toe) for Thursday, not to mention Derrick Favors (knee). Hayward broke his finger during the preseason and missed the first six games of the campaign, and he aggravated it on Tuesday vs. the Suns -- he played through the injury after he had it re-taped. X-rays were negative, so luckily he's day-to-day. Several players will have to step up, but Joe Johnson and Shelvin Mack look like the best short-term adds in standard leagues.

RotoGrinders.com Daily Slant: With Hayward, Hill, Hood and Favors off the floor this season, Shelvin Mack leads the team in usage at a 27.9% clip (73 minutes) with Joe Johnson right behind him at 27.4% (50 minutes). Trey Lyles and Boris Diaw also own usage rates over 25% with the big four off the floor, so this Utah side provides us with plenty of potential value.

Derrick Favors (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday against the Warriors.

He has been doing some pre-game shooting dating back to Dec. 3, but there is no word of him progressing in his workouts. Favors is basically out indefinitely. Boris Diaw and Trey Lyles should get more run, but both don't have much fantasy value.
